Indian Film Industry and .IN domains

[Ceres]

It's not every day that I come across a YouTube video in which a Bollywood actor is advertising a .IN domain name.

In the video, actor Uday Chopra talks about his upcoming film Pyaar Impossible and promotes the website PyaarImpossible.in. The domain name perfectly matches the film title (website currently forwards to YashRajFilms.com). It's really great to see India's film industry promoting the .IN domain. BTW, Pyaar Impossible is scheduled to be released sometime in 2010.

Earlier this year, the domain TTTT.in was used to promote the Indian film Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru.

If you want a chuckle, here's a list of the Ten Worst Movie Domain Names Ever which was compiled back in October 2007. Fast forward to the present, and my local cinema listing shows that many of today's film domain names aren't that much better:

astroboy-themovie.com
paperheart-movie.com
the-invention-of-lying.warnerbros.com

Congrats to Yash Raj Films for getting it right with PyaarImpossible.in.

What's the worst film/movie domain name that you've come across? Or do you have examples of great .IN film domains that promote Indian films?

Kingsingh.in - Singh is Kinng
Angoor.in - Angoor

How about FilmNews.in ? It belongs to - you guessed it right - me.

In India, do people prefer to say film or movie? Whichever it is, do you think it will continue to be the case?

For example, when I left England approximately 11 years ago, people said "film" rather than "movie." So I find it really bizarre that Google AdWords Keyword Tool indicates that in the UK "movies" is currently more popular than "films" (and that "film" and "movie" are equally popular). Is this correct?

What do you make of all this?

A very interesting one Ceres. I notice that Indians from India typically use the word 'film' over the word 'movie'. In US Indians seem to adapt and use the word 'movie'.

So just to ensure we've covered all the basics...

moviewala.in
filmwala.in

Take your pick!

Apparently the Bollywood film Kites (which stars Hrithik Roshan) has been doing well during its first week of release in US and Canada. I checked to see what domain they are using to promote the film... it is Kites-TheFilm.com.
